Condi Breaks Up with Jack Straw: Sorry About Getting You Fired, Can We Still be Friends?

Seriously, it's like a badly-written episode of Sex and the City:

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called her close friend, outgoing British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, on Friday after he was dumped from his key post.

"It was, from her perspective, I think, a bittersweet call," said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack, adding that Rice counted Straw as both a close personal friend and colleague whom she could rely on.

Poor Jack! Their love was forbidden; their love dared not speak its name!
